Asymmetric crosstalk compensation for improved alien crosstalk performance

摘要

Methods and systems for compensating for alien crosstalk generated by one or more of a plurality of wire pairs in a telecommunications jack (120) are disclosed. One method includes positioning a crosstalk compensation arrangement relating to crosstalk across at least a first wire pair and a second wire pair on a circuit board (132) within a telecommunications jack. The method also includes altering the crosstalk compensation arrangement to accommodate at least one zone (ZBl) of crosstalk compensation having an asymmetric capacitive coupling between a first wire pair and a second wire pair to reduce alien crosstalk generated from one of the first and second wire pairs. Specific jacks and compensation arrangements are disclosed as well.
